Sponge Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) I'll look into that!Do B&Q by any chance stock a lot of allen head bolts? I'll be needing some M6x45mm bolts; and i know online mail order places like Stagonset have them; but I'd like to get some on saturday. But yeah, if B&Q don't have them; what kinds of chain stores would? Edited October 17, 2008 by Sponge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ok, so I've been searching around and the only sorta chain store that might stock it is Homebase. I am actually rather shocked at how hard it is to find a place that stocks bolts.I can always order from Stagonset, yes, but I need it for the weekend ideally and they don't deliver fast at all... So I'm willing to scout around central London all over to source out some bolts. There must be somewhere that specially stocks? I haven't got Yellow Pages on me unfortunately as I'm at boarding school at the minute; but if anyone knows for sure if any places in London have plenty of bolt types, then please let me know! I'm after M6x45mm (length) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 If you're in London it'll be easy as hell to find bolts, surely? Have you not got an old stem or something you can rip some out of?Just go into your nearest bike shop/garage and ask if they've got something suitable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 It would be easy; but I specifically need 45mm long ones, for a booster. I purposefully choose to run a booster and deem it wise for such an old frame. I'd rather not let it die from something petty like cracked mounts or similar.

Luke Rainbird Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Yeah, obviously, but sourcing the bolts really shouldn't be an issue - loads of items use M6 bolts, many around that lengthJust adapt the spacers slightly to suit the bolts you manage to get your hands on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Halfords? Not sure if there is one in London but they should have some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Sponge, PM me the exact sizes you need and i'll see if i have anything, i'v got a tin full of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2sixstreet Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Screwfix and rs components do online ordering. Ebay is often a good source for small quantities too. If you cant get the length you need just buy longer and cut them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
